ISBN: 9780802038470 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For most Canadians today, Labour Day is the last gasp of summer fun: the final long weekend before returning to the everyday routine of work or school. But over its century-long history, there was much more to the September holiday than just having a day off. In The Workers' Festival, Craig Heron and Steve Penfold examine the complicated history of Labour Day from its origins as a spectacle of skilled workers in the 1880s through its declaration as a national statutory holiday in 1894 to its reinvention through the twentieth century. The holiday's inventors hoped to blend labour...

Patriarchy at Work: Patriarchal and Capitalist Relations in Employment, 1800-1984
ISBN: 9780745601588 / Angielski / Miękka / 1 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of 'patriarchy' is one which signals a sharp divide between traditions of feminist thought. Sylvia Walby attempts to conceptualize 'patriarchy' in a way that takes account not only of the complexity of relationships of gender, but also of the subtleties of the interconnections of patriarchy and capitalism.
She rejects those accounts which treat patriarchy as a unified set of relations, or which confine the site of patriarchy to any one privileged sphere such as the family. Instead, she elaborates a novel view of patriarchy as a set of 'relatively autonomous... The concept of 'patriarchy' is one which signals a sharp divide between traditions of feminist thought.

ISBN: 9780739138168 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores why the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the allied Swedish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) have been reluctant to embrace calls from employers and bourgeois parties to liberalize Sweden's restrictive third-party national labor migration policy.
